IMPROVEMENT IN' SUSPENSION GTE.

I, EDWARD GHADDERDON, of Howard, in the county of Cass aud State ofMichigan, have invented certain Improvements in Gates, of which thefollowing is a specification, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings.

A, B, and() represent the posts.

H is a cap, secured to the top of B C.

F is a chain, or its equivalent, by which the gate is suspended. i

G is a clasp, to secure the chainvto the gate.

The gate is suspended from the cap by passing a rod, It, through a linkin the chain, just above the cap.

' The weight D is to, balance the gat-e on the chain.

'lh'e latch-post A contains a slide, M.- Sad slide is perforated withholes corresponding with the links in the chain, and, by passing apiu,E, through any one of these holes, the slide is sustained in aposition corresponding with that of the gate.

The slide M is made to receive the ends of two bars, K I, which projectfrom the gate.

The post A may be grooved, to admit the'slid M,

'or it may be constructed of two pieces, with a strip on the sideopposite the gate, the two pieces to have' a relative position to eachother that will permit of the proper Working of the slide.

The gate is fastened by the gravity-latch L, which hooks into the slide.
